I love a curry but the sauce can be quite heavy on calories. This paste can be used as more of a rub or glaze and tastes delicious. Spice to taste! I'm not a hot chilli fan and find 2 deseeded chillis enough heat for me but each to their own!

Cooking Instructions

20 mins

1

Put all the curry paste ingredients apart from the oil into a blender or food processor and blitz smooth
2

Add just enough oil to bring the paste together, around 3 or 4 tbsp
3

Season the chicken pieces with a little salt then toss in half of the curry paste you've just made and put in a ziplock bag or a shallow dish covered with clingfilm in the fridge to marinate overnight
4

When ready to cook, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry for 8 - 10 minutes or until browned on each side and cooked right through
5

You can also bake them in the oven for 20 minutes at gas 4 / 180C / 350F
6

Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a less calorific but still as delicious meal!
7

If you'd rather just make a curry, for every 450g / 1 pound of chicken you need around 120ml / half a cup of paste. The rest you can keep in a container in the fridge until you need it. Brown the marinated chicken (diced pieces are best) then add 250mls / 1 cup of coconut milk. This paste recipe amount makes enough for 2 curries
8

If you'd prefer to do a whole chicken, use the whole amount of curry paste to a 2.5lb - 3lb chicken. Rub some butter (I use Vitalite sunflower spread) under the skin then rub the paste all over. Roast as normal then deglaze the roasting pan with 60mls / a quarter cup of coconut milk for a gorgeous curry gravy
